18TB of raid6 is only 8 3TB drives (6 + 2 parity) thats not an
unreasonable size for a raid6 set.
for the 81TB nearline storage boxes

Any way you'd like. CentOS can't BOOT from a GPT partitioned device if
the BIOS does not support it, but you can cer

Don't partition it at all, assign the whole drive as a LVM physical volume.

Ge,
Thanks! I am afraid that will still not address the issue of how I would
partition the drive for the installation.

Here's the low-tech approach: put /boot on a memory stick, and boot
from that (assuming your BIOS can be set to boot of a USD device).
/boot usually only get access when you do kernel updates.

which part of MBR not supporting disks over 2TB do you not understand?
you have to use GPT to put a partition past 2^32 * 512 bytes == 2TiB

Hello listmates,
Here's I am, trying to install Centos 6.2 64-bit on a server with 24 TB of
disk RAIDed as RAID 6. So I get this 18 TB disk (the RAID is recognized as
one disk) where I am trying to put my OS. And I can create a couple of
partitions - let us say I defiine a 150 GB swap, a 150 GB "/
